Heaven: A World of Love - Pocket Puritans (Edwards)
Description

Endorsement
‘To read the work of a Puritan doctor of the soul is to enter a rich world of spiritual theology to feed the mind, heart-searching analysis to probe the conscience, Christ-centred grace to transform the heart, and wise counsel to direct the life. This series of Pocket Puritans provides all this in miniature, but also in abundance.’
— SINCLAIR B. FERGUSON
